Foreword I decided to combine the two options for our project into one. I am doing it on both, Leadership of myself and the company I own.
Background

The first reason, is because I have always loved photography. The next reason was to provide a safety income for my family. “When the physiological needs are reasonable satisfied, needs at the next higher level begin to dominate man’s behavior – to motivate him.” Roethlisberger, 2011)
Since I am the sole employee at Captures From the Heart, I have had to hire multiple contractors on occasions. Early on, I hired a contractor whose work was sufficient for the job I needed her to assist me with. However, her attire was not professional for a wedding. She wore jeans and a tied dyed shirt, with sneakers. I had to think fast as how to rectify the situation, because the person I hired stood out. I didn’t want the bride and groom to feel as if her unprofessionalism would ruin their day or worse hurt my reputation. So, I decided to apologize to the bride for the way the contractor was dressed and I offered her a free wedding album for the inconvenience. According to Patrick Lencioni’s video the Five Dysfunctions of Teams, from the third dysfunction was lack of commitment. Since everyone doesn’t have the same work ethic and may see their job as a paycheck and not a way to help a company succeed. The contractor I had hired clearly didn’t have the same working ethic as I do.
The type of company I want was not met in that instance. After the wedding, I spoke to the contractor and explained their attire was not appropriate for a wedding. They didn’t seem to

Based on this, how should management and leadership be addressed for each type of business?
The first leadership principle that will be discussed is one that was first thought to me through Drill Instructors training us for PFT’s and CFT’s or whenever we would feel like giving up. That

Right now I just take pictures for my family. Also, I just do it for when I want to capture memories. When I take pictures for my family I always get payed. Later in the future, photography will help me by having it as a second job. Also, if I get a job for a website to take pictures around the world I get to travel. Furthermore, it will help me by having memories
Apart from Speech-Language Pathology, photography is another passion that has allowed for my growth and healing through the last eight years. I originally picked up a camera to document my everyday events. Thankfully, time and rehabilitation remedied my terrible memory, but I began to view the world differently, through the lens of my
I spent many years working as a freelance photographer before joining college to pursue my career and dreams of becoming a successful photographer.

The second method is maintaining strong leadership and foundation. Organizations must have a committed leader to help empower organizational structures and control in order to hold all
This is what I believe about leadership: it’s overrated. What I mean by this is that after 20 years of life, I have become numb to society’s leadership propaganda. As I stated in my original leadership philosophy two years ago, society has taught us to associate leadership with power and affluence, to picture a man in a suit so crisp his cuffs could paper cut your soul and a vivacious, yet somehow sternly reserved demeanor. Rarely, if ever, have a witnessed a “mediocre” student be called a leader; it is always the best, the brightest, and the most personable that are graced with the glorious label of leaders. They are held on a pedestal as if their characteristics are superior to those of others, revered to the point that they some otherworldly and their characteristics seem unachievable by the average Joe. I am not attempting to say that highly publicized leaders or presidents or CEOs are not leaders, I am saying that they are not any different than you or I. It is in my nature to counter the belief, to dub null and void the almighty concept of leadership as a reward or achievement and instead replace it with the idea that leadership is an innate trait. It’s not about being a leader; it’s about building on the qualities that make a leader. While reflecting on my beliefs and writing this paper, I noticed that Microsoft Word’s suggested synonyms for leadership include management, control, headship, and governance. This is a perfect example of
While others claim that photography captures the inner soul of a person, or deliberately defines it as painting or writing with light, but in my case, it is just simply a newfound love hobby. I undeniably adore and look up to expert photographers I encounter down the road may it face-to-face or the other way around. In my heart, I silently desire that someday, with hard work, determination, and perseverance, I will become professional and famous as they are. Since my husband bought a Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) as an anniversary gift, my penchant for photography commenced and ignited. Let me detail the essential truths behind my passion over photography.
During my High School career, I’ve become involved in many different hobbies/activities to occupy my time whether it be clubs, sports, or things outside of school. The camera has impacted my life greatly throughout my High School years. This interest isn’t only about taking pictures or making simple videos, it begins to open doors for other sparks and interests in your life.
. . photographers? Is it because of the money they may make, the booming business, or even perhaps that it is simply a job to get by? No answer is typically wrong, although to some, it is the artistic side in them that creates the desire to become a Portrait Photographer. An artistic interest could quite possibly keep the dream alive longer than most, and it might also help preserve the love for their job. The majority of human beings like to work alone, with this job, some consider, or move forth with, the idea of work independently, with little supervision (“Interests and Values” 1). Competition lies in almost every job in the workforce, however, relationships are important when becoming a photographer. Those relationships must be contained, and most prefer a non-competitive environment compared to a territory that is dominated by
I want to be a portrait photographer. I love photographing people because I want their stories to be told through the lens of my camera. I like taking my models to places where they feel most comfortable, so I capture their true personalities. Two photographers that have inspired me to come a portrait photographer are Annie Lebovitz and Josef Karsh. Both photographers show intimacy and compassion in their work. These photographers have photographed some of the most influential people in history.
